OK, I went and did it. I ended up buying a 1990 GT Mustang for $2800. After driving it around for a couple of days, I noticed an intermittent puff of blue (oil burning) smoke come out the tail pipes when starting from a dead stop. Also, it doesn't do it all the time, say maybe 50/50.

The motor (5.0), from what I was told has about 100k miles on it. When I am cruising around at highway or city driving speeds, I don't see any smoke. Even under full throttle exceleration I don't get any smoke.

So, I am thinking that perhaps a valve guide is worn out. There is some minor valve train noises, but nothing major. I actually hear an exhaust leak more then anything else. Oil pressure seams to be fine throughout the rmp range.

So, I guess the question is, "Is my assumption correct?" Or could it perhaps be that the motor needs a quick refreshing such as; rings, bearings, oil pump, etc? Could worn out rings be the culprit of the oil loading up and causing the smoke? Or does the car need the heads rebuilt?

I know, this is a subaru forum, but I am looking for some opinions from people I know.
